curl / glibc update issues:

DonCaps · 2012-08-09 01:38:07

I tried the latest upgrade after not upgrading for a while. I checked the announcements beforehand and read about all the stuff involving curl and glibc. I followed the instructions, ignoring curl and glibc, then upgrading certain packages (ignoring dependencies). When I got to the step of pacman -Su (final?), I get the following:

pacman: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.16' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)

I have tried the LD_PRELOAD trick (with an older version of libcurl.so) but it still gives me that error. What should I do?

P.S.: You guys are the greatest. (:

Same here, can't downgrade packages either...

I can't downgrade packages either (e.g.:all pacman commands fail)

Same here, yesterday. I followed https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1143190 with success. However, I had to sit in front of that machine as ssh stopped working as well with a similar message.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I believe I followed the update instructions, as well as looking at several forum threads, such as the one you linked, poseidon.
By the way, I followed the guide on one computer and it worked, I'm just having trouble on one of my computers.

That indeed works.

That did not work for me.... Still trying to fix it.

Maybe you need to install the special glibc package Allan made for this kind of case? (Do a search and you'll find it - there are instructions on his blog and in other threads...)

im having the same problem. i didnt find this post the first time around so i made my own https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1145060
does anyone have a fix? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1143190 has not worked for me either. unless i did something wrong. and that post is a bit confusing since there is so many suggestions.

Google is apparently an underdeveloped skill...

I made the same mistake.

First I reverted to the old curl version (without using pacman)

xzcat /var/cache/pacman/pkg/curl-7.26.0-1-<arch>.pkg.tar.xz | tar xv -C /

Then followed the wiki instructions.
